Jurassic Park quotes
Page 1 of 95... 4... 3... 2... 1...
You got any kids?
Me? Oh, hell yeah. Three. I love kids. Anything at all can and does happen. Same with wives, for that matter.
You're married?
Occasionally. Yeah, I'm... I'm always on the lookout for a future... ex-Mrs. Malcolm.
Hey, Dodgson! Over here.
Lewis Dodgson
You shouldn't use my name.
[No response]
See? Nobody cares. Nice hat. What are you trying to look like, a secret agent?
The full 50 miles of perimeter fence are in place?
[in a annoyed tone]
And the concrete moats, and the motion sensor tracking systems. Donald, dear boy, relax. Try to enjoy yourself.
Let's get something straight, John. This is not a weekend excursion. This is a serious investigation of the stability of the island. Your investors, who I represent, are deeply concerned. Forty-eight hours from now, if they're not convinced, I'm not convinced. I'll shut you down, John.
Dr. Henry Wu You're implying that a group of animals composed entirely of females will... breed?
No, I'm simply saying that, uh... life finds a way.
We're out of a job.
Don't you mean extinct?
I can see the shed from here. We can make it if we run.
No. We can't.
Why not?
Because we're being hunted.
God creates dinosaurs. God destroys dinosaurs. God creates man. Man destroys God. Man creates dinosaurs.
Dinosaurs eat man... woman inherits the earth.
Malcom's okay for now, I gave him a shot of morphine.
They'll be fine. Who better to get the children through Jurassic Park than a dinosaur expert? You know the first [swallows] attraction I built when I came down from Scotland... was a flea circus. Petticoat Lane.Really..quite wonderful. We had uh...a wee trapeze, a merry-go-... carousel.Heh. And a see-saw. They all moved, motorized, of course, but people would say they could see the fleas, "Oh, mummy! I can see the fleas, can't you see the fleas?" Clown fleas, highwire fleas and fleas on parade. But with this place... I wanted to give them something that wasn't an illusion.Something that was real. Something they could see, and touch. An aim not devoid of merit.
But you can't think through this one, John. You have to feel it.
You're right, you're absolutely right. Hiring Nedry was a mistake, that's obvious, we're over-dependent on automation, I can see that now. Now the next time, everything's correctable. Creation is an act of sheer will. Next time it'll be flawless.
It's still the flea circus. It's all an illusion.
When we have control again--
You never had control! That's the illusion! I was overwhelmed by the power of this place. But I made a mistake, too. I didn't have enough respect for that power and it's out now. The only thing that matters now are the people we love. Alan and Lex and Tim...John,they're out there where people are dying. So...[takes a spoonful of ice cream;swallows] It's good.
Spared no expense.
All major theme parks have delays. When they opened Disneyland in 1956, nothing worked.
Yeah, but John, if the Pirates of the Caribbean breaks down, the pirates don't eat the tourists.
Dennis. Our lives are in your hands and you have butterfingers?
I am totally unappreciated in my time! We can run the whole park from this room, with minimal staff, for up to three days. You think that kind of automation is easy? Or cheap? You know anybody who can network eight Connection Machines and de-bug two million lines of code for what I bid this job? 'Cause if they can, I'd like to see them try!
I'm sorry about your financial problems, Dennis, I really am. But they are your problems.
You're right, John. You're absolutely right. Everything's my problem.
I will not get drawn into another financial "debate" with you, Dennis. I really will not.
There's been hardly any debate at all.
I don't blame people for their mistakes- but I do ask that they pay for them.
Thanks, Dad.
The raptor fences aren't out, are they?
Ray Arnold [Checks] No, no. They're still on.
Why the hell would he [Nedry] turn the other ones off?
Visitor vehicles are returning to the garage.
So much for our first tour. Two no-shows and one sick Triceratops.
It could've been worse, John. A lot worse.
Anybody want a soda or something? I'm going up to the machine. I thought maybe I'd get somebody something. I've had only sweets and I'm gonna get something salty. Oh, uh, I finished de-bugging the phones. You know, I was going to, so I did. So I de-bugged the phones. And I thought maybe... I should tell you the system will be compiling... for, uh, 18 to 20 minutes, so some of the minor systems... uh, they might go on and off for a while, but it's nothing to worry about. It's just a simple thing.
The national weather service is tracking a tropical storm about 75 miles West of us.
Ay ay ay ay... Why didn't I build in Orlando?
